Court records indicate that at least 81 Stryker Rejuvenate hip recall lawsuits have already been filed in the New Jersey litigation. (In re Stryker Rejuvenate Hip Stem and the ABG II Modular Hip Stem Litigation, No. 296)

According to Wright & Schulte LLC, additional Stryker Rejuvenate hip recall lawsuits have been filed in various federal courts throughout the country. In February, plaintiffs in federal Stryker Rejuvenate hip recall lawsuits motioned for the establishment of a multidistrict litigation in U.S. District Court, District of Minnesota.

(In Re: Stryker Rejuvenate and ABG II Hip Implant Products Liability Litigation, Case Pending No. 20 (JPML)) This litigation is only in its preliminary phase, so it is far too early to speculate about a possible Stryker Rejuvenate hip replacement lawsuit settlement, according to the firm.

Stryker Rejuvenate Hip Implant Recall 2012

Some 20,000 Stryker Rejuvenate and Stryker ABG II hip stems had been sold worldwide by the time the Stryker Rejuvenate recall was announced in July 2012. According to the Stryker Rejuvenate hip replacement recall notice, the Rejuvenate and ABG II hip stems are prone to fretting and corrosion at the modular-neck junction. As such, the hips can generate excessive amounts of metallic debris, placing hip implant recipients at risk for pain, swelling and adverse local tissue reactions. All patients affected by the Stryker Rejuvenate recall have been advised to undergo metal ion blood testing and imaging screenings, even if they are not experiencing problems with their hip.

Stryker Rejuvenate Hip Recall and the FDA

Though they are not technically considered metal-on-metal hip implants, the hip components involved in the Stryker hip recall have been associated with similar complications, including adverse local tissue reactions and premature device failure. Like metal-on-metal hips, those involved in the Stryker Rejuvenate hip replacement recall were also brought to market under the U.S. Food & Drug Administration’s (FDA) 510(k) system, which does not require human testing prior to agency approval. The FDA has been reviewing the safety of all-metal hips since February 2011, and in January proposed a new regulation that would disallow 510(k) approvals for metal-on-metal hips. The agency also recommended blood and imaging tests for metal-on-metal hip recipients who were experiencing problems with their hips.
